just wanted to give it a try, it turned out okay~ share some pictures here~ calf and tool  cutting and trimming  pre-dye  waiting for the second dye  finished  with the watch_01  with the watch_02  with the watch_03  with the watch_04  with the watch_05 the color goes well with my daily outfit.  below three pictures were taken by my iphone's crappy cam, sorry for the poor quality~  the lume is actually brighter than what it shows in the pic.  I was driving...... could not really take a good shot  under dimmed room light source  thank you all for viewing~ have a great one~ |

Very nice color on that strap. What did you use dye wise to get that great color? |

Please tell me that this wasn't your first strap making experience...You made that look too easy, and the strap turned out great!!! The Vintage Cali is an awesome piece, and your self-made strap is a perfect match. |
